( close to Christmas ) 12 days of Christmas Partridge in a Pear Tree = Jesus Christ Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists Golden Rings = the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace. Geese A-laying = the six days of creation Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed http://lds.about.com/library/christmas/day18/blsymbol18.htm Yet another symbol of creation |\ /| | \ / | _____| \/ |_____ `. .:'''':. .' `.: :.' .': :'. .'___':....:'___`. | /\ | | /::\ | |/ :: \| .::::. ...::::'::'::::...
